If Customer receives notice that Third Party Products or a Non-TriFin Application must be removed, modified and/or disabled to avoid violating applicable law, third-party rights, or the Acceptable Use and External Facing Services Policy, Customer will promptly do so. If Customer does not take required action in accordance with the above, or if in TriFin’s judgment continued violation is likely to reoccur, TriFin may disable the applicable Third Party Products, Service and/or Non-TriFin Application. If requested by TriFin, Customer shall confirm such deletion and discontinuance of use in writing and TriFin shall be authorized to provide a copy of such confirmation to any such third party claimant or governmental authority, as applicable. In addition, if TriFin is required by any third party rights holder to remove Third Party Products, or receives information that Third Party Products provided to Customer may violate applicable law or third-party rights, TriFin may discontinue Customer’s access to Third Party Products through the Services.
4. NON-TRIFIN PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
4.1 Non-TriFin Products and Services. TriFin or third parties may make available third-party products or services, including, for example, Non-TriFin Applications and implementation and other consulting services. Any acquisition by Customer of such products or services, and any exchange of data between Customer and any Non-TriFin provider, product or service is solely between Customer and the applicable Non-TriFin provider. TriFin does not warrant or support Non-TriFin Applications or other Non-TriFin products or services, whether or not they are designated by TriFin Labs LLC as “certified” or otherwise, unless expressly provided otherwise in an Order Form. TriFin is not responsible for any disclosure, modification or deletion of Customer Data resulting from access by such Non-TriFin Application or its provider.
4.2 Integration with Non-TriFin Applications. The Services may contain features designed to interoperate with Non-TriFin Applications. TriFin cannot guarantee the continued availability of such Service features, and may cease providing them without entitling Customer to any refund, credit, or other compensation, if for example and without limitation, the provider of a Non-TriFin Application ceases to make the Non-TriFin Application available for interoperation with the corresponding Service features in a manner acceptable to TriFin.
5. FEES AND PAYMENT
5.1 Fees. Customer will pay all fees specified and agreed on in Order Forms.
5.2 Invoicing and Payment. Order Forms will determine all underlying terms of payment. Customer is responsible for providing complete and accurate billing and contact information to TriFin and notifying TriFin of any changes to such information.
5.3 Overdue Charges. If any invoiced amount is not received by TriFin by the due date, then without limiting TriFin’s rights or remedies, (a) those charges may accrue late interest at the rate of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, and/or (b) TriFin may condition future subscription renewals and Order Forms on payment terms shorter than those specified in the “Invoicing and Payment” section above.
5.4 Suspension of Service and Acceleration. If any charge owing by Customer under this or any other agreement for services is 30 days or more overdue, (or 10 or more days overdue in the case of amounts Customer has authorized TriFin to charge to Customer’s credit card), TriFin may, without limiting its other rights and remedies, accelerate Customer’s unpaid fee obligations under such agreements so that all such obligations become immediately due and payable, and suspend Services until such amounts are paid in full, provided that, other than for customers paying by credit card or direct debit whose payment has been declined, TriFin will give Customer at least 10 days’ prior notice that its account is overdue, in accordance with the “Manner of Giving Notice” section below for billing notices, before suspending Services to Customer.
5.5 Payment Disputes. TriFin will not exercise its rights under the “Overdue Charges” or “Suspension of Service and Acceleration” section above if Customer is disputing the applicable charges reasonably and in good faith and is cooperating diligently to resolve the dispute.
5.6 Taxes. TriFin’s fees do not include any taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including, for example, value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes, assessable by any jurisdiction whatsoever (collectively, “Taxes”). Customer is responsible for paying all Taxes associated with its purchases hereunder. If TriFin has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Customer is responsible under this section, TriFin will invoice Customer and Customer will pay that amount unless Customer provides TriFin with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. For clarity, TriFin is solely responsible for taxes assessable against TriFin based on its income, property and employees.
6. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS AND LICENSES
6.1 Reservation of Rights. Subject to the limited rights expressly granted hereunder, TriFin, its Affiliates, its licensors and Third Party Products providers reserve all of their right, title and interest in and to the Services and Third Party Products, including all of their related intellectual property rights, provided that TriFin and Customer may agree in a Statement of Work that certain deliverables from TriFin shall be owned by Customer and the rights with respect thereto shall be set forth in the applicable Statement of Work.

If Customer chooses to use a Non-TriFin Application with a Service, Customer grants TriFin permission to allow the Non- TriFin Application and its provider to access Customer Data and information about Customer’s usage of the Non-TriFin Application as appropriate for the interoperation of that Non-TriFin Application with the Service. Subject to the limited licenses granted herein, TriFin acquires no right, title or interest from Customer or its licensors under this Agreement in or to any Customer Data, Non- TriFin Application or such program code.
6.4 License by Customer to Use Feedback.

6.5 Federal Government End Use Provisions. TriFin provides the Services, including related software and technology, for ultimate federal government end use in accordance with the following: The Services consist of “commercial items,” as defined at FAR 2.101. In accordance with FAR 12.211-12.212 and DFARS 227.7102-4 and 227.7202-4, as applicable, the rights of the U.S. Government to use, modify, reproduce, release, perform, display, or disclose commercial computer software, commercial computer software documentation, and technical data furnished in connection with the Services shall be as provided in this Agreement, except that, for U.S. Department of Defense end users, technical data customarily provided to the public is furnished in accordance with DFARS 252.227-7015. If a government agency needs additional rights, it must negotiate a mutually acceptable written addendum to this Agreement specifically granting those rights.
7. CONFIDENTIALITY
7.1 Definition of Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means all information disclosed by a party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other party (“Receiving Party”), whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Confidential Information of Customer includes Customer Data; Confidential Information of TriFin includes the Services and Third Party Products, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement and all Order Forms (including pricing). Confidential Information of each party includes business and marketing plans, technology and technical information, product plans and designs, and business processes disclosed by such party. However, Confidential Information does not include any information that (i) is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (ii) was known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (iii) is received from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, or (iv) was independently developed by the Receiving Party. For the avoidance of doubt, the non-disclosure obligations set forth in this “Confidentiality” section apply to Confidential Information exchanged between the parties in connection with the evaluation of additional TriFin services.
7.2 Protection of Confidential Information. As between the parties, each party retains all ownership rights in and to its Confidential Information. The Receiving Party will not use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement and will, except as otherwise authorized by the Disclosing Party in writing, limit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its and its Affiliates’ employees and contractors who need that access for purposes consistent with this Agreement and who have signed confidentiality agreements with the Receiving Party containing protections not materially less protective of the Confidential Information than those herein. Neither party will disclose the terms of this Agreement or any Order Form to any third party other than its Affiliates, legal counsel and accountants without the other party’s prior written consent, provided that a party that makes any such disclosure to its Affiliate, legal counsel or accountants will remain responsible for such Affiliate’s, legal counsel’s or accountant’s compliance with this “Confidentiality” section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, TriFin may disclose the terms of this Agreement and any applicable Order Form to a subcontractor or Non- TriFin Application Provider to the extent necessary to perform TriFin’s obligations under this Agreement, under terms of confidentiality materially as protective as set forth herein.
7.3 Compelled Disclosure. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent compelled by law to do so, provided the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of the compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party’s cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as part of a civil proceeding to which the Disclosing Party is a party, and the Disclosing Party is not contesting the disclosure, the Disclosing Party will reimburse the Receiving Party for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing secure access to that Confidential Information.
8. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES AND DISCLAIMERS
8.1 Representations. Each party represents that it has validly entered into this Agreement and has the legal power to do so.
8.2 TriFin Warranties.

8.3 Disclaimers. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN, NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, AND EACH PARTY SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS,” AND AS AVAILABLE EXCLUSIVE OF ANY WARRANTY WHATSOEVER.
9. MUTUAL INDEMNIFICATION
9.1 Indemnification by TriFin. TriFin will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Customer against any claim, demand, suit or proceeding made or brought against Customer by a third party alleging that any Service infringes or misappropriates such third party’s intellectual property rights (a “Claim Against Customer”), and will indemnify Customer from any damages, attorney fees and costs finally awarded against Customer as a result of, or for amounts paid by Customer under a settlement approved by TriFin in writing of, a Claim Against Customer, provided Customer (a) promptly gives TriFin written notice of the Claim Against Customer, (b) gives TriFin sole control of the defense and settlement of the Claim Against Customer (except that TriFin may not settle any Claim Against Customer unless it unconditionally releases Customer of all liability), and (c) gives TriFin all reasonable assistance, at TriFin’s expense. If TriFin receives information about an infringement or misappropriation claim related to a Service, TriFin may in its discretion and at no cost to Customer (i) modify the Services so that they are no longer claimed to infringe or misappropriate, without breaching TriFin’s warranties under “TriFin Warranties” above, (ii) obtain a license for Customer’s continued use of that Service in accordance with this Agreement, or (iii) terminate Customer’s subscriptions for that Service upon 30 days’ written notice and refund Customer any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the term of the terminated subscriptions. The above defense and indemnification obligations of TriFin do not apply if (1) the allegation does not state with specificity that the Services are the basis of the Claim Against Customer; (2) a Claim Against Customer arises from the use or combination of the Services or any part thereof with software, hardware, data, or processes not provided by TriFin, if the Services or use thereof would not infringe without such combination; (3) a Claim Against Customer arises from Services under an Order Form for which there is no charge; or (4) a Claim against Customer arises from Third Party Products, a Non-TriFin Application or Customer’s breach of this Agreement, the Documentation or applicable Order Forms.
9.2 Indemnification by Customer. Customer will indemnify, defend and hold harmless TriFin and its Affiliates against any claim, demand, suit or proceeding made or brought against TriFin by a third party alleging (a) that any Customer Data or Customer’s use of Customer Data with the Services, (b) a Non-TriFin Application provided by Customer, (c) the combination of a Non-TriFin Application provided by Customer and used with the Services, infringes or misappropriates such third party’s intellectual property rights, or (d) that, or arising from, Customer’s use of the Services or Third Party Products in an unlawful manner or in violation of the Agreement, the Documentation, or Order Form (each a “Claim Against TriFin”), and will indemnify TriFin from any damages, attorney fees and costs awarded against TriFin as a result of, or for any amounts paid by TriFin under a settlement approved by Customer in writing of, a Claim Against TriFin, provided TriFin (a) promptly gives Customer written notice of the Claim Against TriFin, (b) gives Customer sole control of the defense and settlement of the Claim Against TriFin (except that Customer may not settle any Claim Against TriFin unless it unconditionally releases TriFin of all liability), and (c) gives Customer all reasonable assistance, at Customer’s expense. The above defense and indemnification obligations do not apply if a Claim Against TriFin arises from TriFin’s breach of this Agreement, the Documentation or applicable Order Forms.
9.3 Exclusive Remedy. This “Mutual Indemnification” section states the indemnifying party’s sole liability to, and the indemnified party’s exclusive remedy against, the other party for any third party claim described in this section.
